This chapter lists all the new and noteworthy AVR32 specific items for this release below. The base platform has also been updated for this release with many improvements and new features:
CVS and Subversion supported |
AVR32 Studio now natively supports the CSV and Subversion version control systems. These have always been available as optional components but are now part of the main distribution. See the user guide for more information. |
Task manager and issue tracker |
The extremely popular Mylyn task manager is now integrated into AVR32 Studio. Mylyn is a task-focused interface that reduces information overload and makes multi-tasking easy. It does this by making tasks a first class part of the IDE, and integrating rich and offline editing for repositories such as Bugzilla, Trac, and JIRA (or even private/local). Once your tasks are integrated, Mylyn monitors your work activity to identify relevant information, and uses this task context to focus the user interface on the task-at-hand. This puts the information you need at your fingertips and improves productivity by reducing searching, scrolling, and navigation. By making task context explicit Mylyn also facilitates multitasking, planning, reusing past efforts, and sharing expertise. |
Software frameworks in project explorer |
Enhancements to the AVR32 software framework support makes it possible to browse all compatible software frameworks within the project explorer view. These are shown in the Software Libraries folder. Files can be copied, compared and viewed just as any other file. Copying can be performed using the context menu (right click), or by CTRL+dragging an item. Note that only frameworks compatible with the device specified for the project are listed. |
